There was mornin' train used to come on through
When this sleepy town was alive
And ever' Sunday we would come and see
Some mighty fancy people arrive
Oh, they'd arrive aboard the milk train
There was a well dressed lady from the city
Used to always give me her smile
And she looked so fine, she was sweet and kind
She let me get to know her awhile, oh, for a little while
Oh, when the milk train used to rumble my shack
Used to stop outside o' my door
But now the milk train doesn't come by here any more
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Now I still live in that rail-road shack
And I wander down that dusty old track
Like a lonely old-timer out of my mind
Lookin' for that lady who was sweet and kind to me
When the milk train used to rumble my shack
Used to stop outside o' my door
But now the milk train doesn't stop by here any more
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Now the only thing to come on through
Is a Jimmy-John now and then
And I dream of the day she'll come back this way
And let me get to know her again
Oh, like way back when
When the milk train used to rumble my shack
Used to stop outside o' my door
But now the milk train doesn't come by here anymore
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Oh, the milk train used to rumble my shack
Used to stop outside o' my door
But now the milk train doesn't come here any more
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
